twoftpd-auth(1) General Commands Manual twoftpd-auth(1)
NAME
twoftpd-auth - TwoFTPD authentication front-end
SYNOPSIS
twoftpd-auth cvmodule twoftpd-xfer
DESCRIPTION
twoftpd-auth reads a username and password from the network and authenticates them using the CVM module cvmodule. If the authentication
succeeds, it sets the environment variables UID, GID, HOME, and USER to the user's UID, GID, home directory, and login name respectively,
and then executes twoftpd-xfer. It also sets GROUP if the CVM reports a group name, and AUTHENTICATED to 1 (twoftpd-auth and twoftpd-xfer
look for this variable to determine what startup banner code to use).

The maximum number of seconds to wait for successful authentication.
LOGINBANNER
